Informal backyard rental housing continues to grow every year, yet it has remained largely invisible to public policy. In some recent work with @IsandlaInst, we put forward a set of policy interventions and describe which sphere of government is responsible for implementation.

[Nick Budlender @Nickbud_021]

This isn't only tragic, but also fucking infuriating. No family should ever have to live through something like this. The City of Cape Town should be deeply ashamed.

[Nick Budlender @Nickbud_021]

Beyond tragic. Spatial apartheid is absolutely deadly. Our government can and must do better to provide quality services to the whole of Cape Town, and not just former whites-only areas. Deepest condolences to the Mbadamane and Swartbooi families.

[Nick Budlender @Nickbud_021]

Finally some progress for a more inclusive Atlantic Seaboard. Domestic workers in Sea Point have been campaigning for this for over two decades! Now is the time for @alanwinde to break with his predecessor and commit Tafelberg for social housing. We can't wait another 20 years.

UCT #LLB students:
Due to today’s devastating fire & the evacuation of campus, all LLB tests, assignments & assessments that were originally scheduled for this coming week (19-23 April) will be postponed. We will let you have the new dates/ deadlines as soon as possible.

CALS is in the Western Cape High Court today representing some of the 900 residents who face eviction from Cissie Gool House by the City of Cape Town, supported by @NdifunaUkwazi and @ReclaimCT

[Nick Budlender @Nickbud_021]

The City of Cape Town continues to claim that it is committed to reversing spatial apartheid. Why then is it leasing well-located public land that it had already committed as a site for affordable housing to a private company? No urgency whatsoever.

[THREAD] Today, the @CityofCT Council meets to decide whether to renew the lease of 45.99 hectares of prime public land (the size of a small suburb) to the @RondeboschGC for the next TEN YEARS. #RedistributeThisLand #StopTheLease

The Province's sale of the Tafelberg site has been undone and declared unlawful #Land4PeopleNot4Profit

[afternomos @afternomos]

What a victory for all those who worked so tirelessly on this case, both inside and outside the courts.

Please do everything you can to save this crucial institution which is one of the rare instances of a “nomos otherwise” in our still so colonial nomos society. #district6museum #d6museum #districtsixmuseum

[Nick Budlender @Nickbud_021]

We need to save the District Six Museum! An absolutely crucial institution that shines a light on the history and experience of land dispossession in Cape Town. We cannot change our future if we don’t understand our past. Please donate through the link below:

Spatial justice in action!

[Ndifuna Ukwazi @NdifunaUkwazi]

The court has set aside the sale of the Tafelberg site, which means the sale will not be going ahead! #land4peoplenot4profit

[Ndifuna Ukwazi @NdifunaUkwazi]

[CALL FOR COMMENT] Remember @CityofCT's plans to lease prime public land to @RondeboschGC instead of using it for affordable housing? NOW it’s proposing to lease the land NEXT DOOR to another golf club - @king_mowbray. Object here: https://t.co/TvzEL7Dlkf #RedistributeThisLand
